Sayyiduna Abu Lubabah bin Abd al-Mundhir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about purification (i.e. ablution), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a Muslim washes his mouth (during ablution), Allah Almighty forgives every sin that he committed with his tongue that day; when a man washes his arms, Allah Almighty forgives the sins of that day which his hands committed; and when he wipes his head, he becomes (in being free of sins) like the day his mother gave birth to him."
Imam al-Tabarani recorded this report in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains a narrator, Yusuf bin Khalid al-Samti, on whose weakness the hadith scholars are agreed.
